One of the first verses I ever memorized was Romans 12:2...
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."
As I've recalled this verse recently, I can't help but notice how apropos it is for these days.
Today, there's a hard and constant push -- coming from many directions -- to get in line with the world's way of thinking.
And sadly, many feel like there's no choice but to go along.
Yet God has made it clear He has something else in mind for us...
Our lives are to be about transforming, not conforming.
Be vigilant about the ways the world is seeking to shape you into its mold.
